Yesterday's sweepstake races ar ranged by the Royal Hongkong Yacht Mrs. Stephens was the better of the Club resulted in wins for Isobel, sail- goalkeepers and showed bettered by Major B. E. C. Dixon, in the anticipation than Mrs. Rose, and Mrs. Lanson, together with Miss Pope in her new rule as right-back in part nership with Miss A, Fowler formed a formidable defence. Of the halves Miss 1. Woolley, J.
J. J. Wong and Lakeman did well though I am in clined to think the last named is not in the same street as Miss K. Glover. Miss J. Booker at right- half for the Colours gave a gallant display of spoiling work but feeding of her forwards. left much to be desired.
the
Among the forwards Miss 0 Dalziel; Miss M. Booker, Mrs. Donald, Miss P. Gillins, Miss M. Smith and Miss Bockler performed admirably.
I was most impressed with the display given by Miss M. Booker at Inside-right, where she Improved upon the bustling methods adopted by her opposite number Miss Marsh by her cool and collected play. Once in the circle this youthful player took every advantage of the chances offered her and made no mistake In finding the net.
According to the trials strikes endeavouring me the selectors are to fill the inside-right berth and I would like to make one sugges- tion, that Miss M. Smith perform in her usual position as inside-right and Miss P. Glitins at inside-left, If this is not done the last named fails to get her place in the attaci and the obvious person in my opinion nu the inside-right berth will bo Miss M Booker. It's worth on experiment.

An attack with Miss O. Dalziel. Miss M. Smith, Mrs. Donald, Miss P. Gittins and Miss M. Westcoll, or alternatively Miss O. Dalziel, M. Booker, Mrs. Donald, Miss M. Smith and Miss M. Westcott will be the best the Colony could ever feld.
